12.12 miles
My lil’ sister stayed with me for a week following Christmas — her first trip to Santa Monica — and on top of doing the normal touristy things such as cruising Hollywood and Beverly Hills we opted to walk Santa Monica. I don’t think either one of us expected to walk as far as we did:
- left my place (roughly Colorado and Stewart)
- quick stop at Yahoo! for the grand tour
- continued down Colorado to the 3rd St Promenade
- up 3rd to Wilshire
- Wilshire to the beach
- walked along the beach through Venice just past Muscle Beach
- stopped for a quick bite in Venice
- back up Main St to Colorado for the return home
Grand Total: 12.12 miles (according to a rough trace of our steps in Google Earth). Not bad.
Other highlights from the visit include a trip to Didi Reese, a walk of the UCLA campus, and a drive out to the Hollywood sign (as close as we could get anyway).
